I don’t really have any issues doing Tail or Nose Butters. If you watch Erro Ettala or however you spell he’s name lol he does it. Also Zeb Powell used to ride this board when he was on Nitro. I actually feel like it’s more stable when you really press into it. Boards that are too soft tend to slide out easier or snap. If you can try before you buy that’s always an option. Some shops do that.

To each their own. I don’t mind it.

Yeah they were really good tires.

If you’re new to the sport it will feel like you’re fighting it, but it will actually help you carve better and ride correctly. I would recommend it, but in a 155 or bigger. Also if you are not planning on doing park, look for an All Mountain board like the Nitro T1 model or Team Pro.

I agree with you, it depends on your needs. They really do help in ice though! 👍

@SterlingSigurdsen I live in the north east (ice coast) and used to stud my winter tires lonnng ago. It's just so infrequently in those conditions that I never even consider it anymore. This season I was gonna use all seasons (18 wrx 6mt) after having a dedicated summer (ps4s)and winter set (blizzak ws90& hercules avalanche rt) the ps4s are awesome but going through a set every year got sick of spending that $$ and tried to save on both. Well, we just got weather and the all seasons suck 😅😅 so here I am, looking at independent review vids 😃 hahahahah These and general altimax artic are on the table. Don't wanna spend 1k on blizzaks. The hercules I got in an emergency for a good deal too, and those actually where quite good but anyways. About a $50 difference per tire. General being more $$. I think I'll give these a shot as it seems the general isn't quite a $200 better of a tire. If the hercules were good, these should be good too

@@clifford_2zero7​​⁠I’ve actually had the General Altimax Artic R12s, and you’re right for the money they’re not better. You can actually find that same tread design in a cheaper brand but I cannot remember who makes them. These Nexens though are great and I just bought a set from Simple tire for $500 in a P235/55 R19 for my XC90. Sometimes you can find Nokian tires on sale at Priority Tires or Simple Tires for $150~<>. Hope you are able to find some at a good price. And I only stud because when I drive up or down the access road to Bolton it’s taking your life in your hands.

😂 I wish

Can’t really say they were bad or good. Just like any performance tire with a Z rating. So pretty firm. Though I try to avoid potholes as they will crack rims and destroy suspensions. 😂

I am not sure, but I imagine if you call Cannondale they should be able to send one out to you.

@@SterlingSigurdsen that’s what I was thinking. I’m gonna give them a call on Monday and I will post the results of what I find out. Once again, appreciate you reviewing this helmet.

?

@@SterlingSigurdsen Ну... я взял эти шины, потому что в Московской орде снег плохо убирают.

going to upload a video today on how to do this

⁠@@SterlingSigurdsen Thanks! How to see the light video??

There is a quick release tab on the on the inside of the helmet. You’ll see it at the base of the point of the light. Pull it down toward the opening of the helmet and the light should pop out. Honestly, it pops out so easily. I’m afraid it might pop out too easily and pop out when I don’t want it to.

MRG isn't that challenging, unless you're in Octopus garden. There's only a few true Double Blacks.

@@Colbyobrien378 Paradise?? There's only a few trails in total. But the couple that are double blacks, are really double black+. Most surveys of most challenging trains in east include Mad River.

Lol it east coast cliff size. haha. actually higher up is the real cliff that I watched them hit still impressive to me as these kids were like 8-14

Yeah they seemed to do well in evacuating the water from the tires. I am not sure as your car is a lot lighter than mine, but I imagine in the correct size for your car they should do well. They have a lot of grip in the corners and accelerating.

@@SterlingSigurdsen Glad to finally find a tire that has good reviews in the wet that isn’t continental extremecontacts 😀

Yes the light pops out from the inside out. There is a tab you push down on to pop it out. I can make a video of this if need be.

i would appreciate a video very much! i’m having trouble figuring it out on my own. thank you for your speedy reply!🧡🚲

@@nyjahc6496 i am uploading the video today to show how to do this. I know it is a pain as it feels like you will break it.

East Coast at its finest

Yeah for sure

@@SterlingSigurdsen I’m juggling a flight ✈️ Puerto Rico on the 2nd surf forecast is 7 feet on Surf Captain and 5 foot on Surf forecast and 4 feet the next day but only if I can find cheap last minute tickets

youre right it wears them out quicker

not sure why not, if the guy below is right than okay, i just don't care that much about my googles as I always get new ones ever season. I have not heard of a reason why not to put them on my helmet though.

@@SterlingSigurdsen putting them on your helmet also makes them fog up easier too. I hate being blind with foggy goggles. That’s the biggest issue.

@@TaylorPhase ah okay, yeah i never had that issue from my helmet, more from just breathing

lol very true probably the easiest boots to put on. That is what my friend rides.

Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment

yeah for sure. plus most blacks are just meh. i like cursing.

it is crazy icy one day, powder the next, and then melting slush with rain. you never know what's in store.

@@SterlingSigurdsen enjoy it all, when I think about it, a day skiing ⛷️ is better than what most days are for everyone else in winter. Have fun 🎿

thanks man appreciate it.

I have had them for the spring through fall up here in Vermont, and had no issues with them. Not sure what people mean they crack fast, as tyres usually only crack once they reach a certain age and are not really cared for. I think the original warranty is 4 years and 50k miles.

@@SterlingSigurdsen I want to fit them because most people don't find the newer Kumho PS71 that good, many have balancing issues etc. I find it strange that many report that the PS31 is better in braking than Cinturato P7 while on the latest tests Kumho PS71 comes as worst than the P7. And I cannot find any independent review of the Kumho PS31 whatsoever (e.g. Autobild). If you have anything that compares it head-to-head with any other known tyre let me know. I found a June 2023 batch of the PS31 (one of the last if I'm not mistaken as the tyre is seemingly being discontinued).

@@xynostasos9022 I find them better than my previous tyres which were the cooper ultra s asymmetrical tyres. These felt way better in the rain and dry than those. The only other really good tyre brand for the money would be Nexen than Falken. Beyond those you start to push into Goodyear tyres, Perelli, and Bridgestone price points. On a side note, most tyres are made by the same manufacturer and just market them under a different name. So maybe look into which subsidiary brands are made by Kumho.

look forward to hearing how they work for you. my friends put them on their Volvo V60 Cross Countries and seemed to be doing well so far this year.

Hello there, how did these tires work out for you? I am in Canada and am thinking of placing these on my Ram 1500 Sport (22 inch). Thanks!

@@jaredfofonoff7615 They would be great on a Ram 1500, Absolutely. I have them on my F150 two years and loved them Just bought my second set. They are great in the Vermont snow.

VIP tires here in Vermont. They do sell them pre-studded

I would say pretty well, but I am driving a Volvo, and Volvos have really good handling to begin with.

Dry is great but wet can get sketchy without abs

Yes they are directional.

same exact board, just a Volcom graphic on it. These are really good boards, and I will say pair them up with Team bindings and boots if you plan on staying mostly in the park, if you plan on doing some more all mountain, then step up to the team pro bindings and boots. It will be more responsive to your inputs.

Thank you brother for taking time to respond. Did you find it too stiff, they describe it 8/10, you said on the video that it goes more for medium than stiff. I am progressing on the rails and jumps but I like all mountain style too

@@douglaskiokawa7002 yeah it is not crazy stiff like some of the Rome and Burton boards with Carbon reinforced rods. This board is made to be pressed when hitting the down rails.

They do follow the whole tread depth to the depth indicator bar. Really good tires, especially if you stud them too.

@@SterlingSigurdsen Thanks so much, really! You were the only one that actually knew out of 6 other reviewers of this tire.

Not really as it is meant for an advance to pretty much Pro rider. However, it will force you to ride correctly, and it will last you a long time. Nitro boards are made with an over engineering design so they will last a longer time if you beat on them.

@@SterlingSigurdsen do you think I should buy a cheaper board to start with then?

@@KennyS-fr4xz yeah maybe something softer and a little more forgiving. Nitro did just come out with a new street board that would probably be more forgiving. I would check out vtsnowboarder.com/ and look at one of their setups. Also how tall are you and weight matters too. Like I should be riding closer to 155+, but I like 152 cm boards due to being able to throw them around more. If staying in the Nitro brand would suggest the Cheap Thrills board with the Zero bindings and Team or Venture TLS boots. This set up will keep you comfy all day on the mountain. Also buy your boots true to size as you don't want your feet sliding around in your boots, which will cause you to lose control.

@@SterlingSigurdsen okay thanks, I'm about 5'6 and 140 lbs

okay than I would stick around 150-155 cm. If you plan on doing any deep riding, than look for an asymmetrical board, which means the bindings are set back towards the tail and is some what directional. @@KennyS-fr4xz
